Welcome to the Salthouse Arts and Events Website
The James Edward by J. Craske
Since its very first exhibition, the (voluntary) North Norfolk Exhibition Project (NNEP) has annually staged a curated month-long contemporary art exhibition in the beautiful setting of Salthouse Church.
Each year, those selected artists with a Norfolk connection have produced thought-provoking, exciting work; often inspired by and reflecting the local built and natural environment. In the absence of a dedicated non-commercial gallery in North Norfolk, the Project plays an invaluable role in promoting contemporary visual art. The NNEP exhibitions are recognised as one of the County's premier arts events.

Thursday 10 July: LOUIS DE BERNIERES and ILONE ANTONIUS-JONES
Famed writer of Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Louis will talk about and read from his latest novel, A Partisan's Daughter, recently published to much acclaim (medical salesman falls for enchanting, story-telling, illegal immigrant). With much music from Louis and Ilone, including Bob Dylan and eastern European, with mandolins and other instruments, to highlight the readings; and the opportunity to ask questions.

Sunday 13 July: TRISHA GODDARD
Queen of daytime TV and EDP columnist, with EDDIE ANDERSON of ITV's Bygones fame. A cross between Desert Island Discs (without music) and This is your Life; not just sparkling conversation but the opportunity to quiz the pair (among other things Trisha is a trained counsellor in conflict resolution, and Eddie was once a gamekeeper...)

Friday 18 July: GUATEQUE: Cuban Band
Perhaps the most brilliant Cuban country music you will hear in this country. Led by Cuban-born master-percussionist José Ferrera Mullen (just before he appears at the Festival Hall and World Music Festival) Guateque inspires the usually most reluctant of feet to dance and hands to clap. Back by popular request; last year José had the whole audience dancing in the aisles…
Licensed Bar selling wine and soft drinks
Friday 1 August: ROGER ENO
Roger's fusion of jazz, classical and modern will appeal to anyone and everyone who loves music. The evening includes a live recital of FLOOD - Roger's new work specially composed for Salthouse 08 (in collaboration with one of the exhibitors, Dom Theobald.)
PLEASE NOTE: There is no license at this event; soft drinks only for sale.
